Arthur was the man who offered Hogg the chance to play for the Scorchers last summer.

“He’s 41 going on 18,” Arthur says.

Hogg, who often bowls with his tongue hanging out, keeps people guessing on and off the field.

“The Australian guys are still trying to work me out on a personal level as well,” Hogg said.

“Some (teammates) are probably old enough to be my sons.

“But it’s just a normal changing room. With the Scorchers it only took two minutes on the team bus for me to feel part of it again. Nothing had changed.

“They were still taking the micky out of me.”

Hogg retired in 2008 after playing 123 one-day internationals and seven Tests. Now he’s made a comeback for personal reasons and on September 19 against Ireland he’ll add to his tally of six T20 Internationals.

“I missed the game and my fiancee (Cheryl Bresland) said if I wanted to go back and play cricket then go back and play,” Hogg said.
